CSST Exam Study Guide: Asbestos Safety Questions and Answers, Exams of Nursing

This document serves as a study guide for the csst exam, focusing on asbestos-related topics. It provides definitions of key terms such as 'aggressive-method,' 'amended water,' and 'asbestos containing material (acm),' as defined by the epa. The guide also covers various classes of asbestos work, including class i, ii, iii, and iv, detailing the activities involved in each. Furthermore, it outlines exposure limits, including time weighted average limit (twa) and excursion limit, ensuring compliance with safety standards. This guide is essential for understanding asbestos management and safety protocols in occupational settings. It also includes information on sampling surface material.
